Notes

The Texas Constitution establishes the Commission on Judicial Conduct as a 13 member body. Its members, who receive no pay for their service, serve six-year terms. The members of the Commission include:

Six judges appointed by the Supreme Court of Texas, one from each of the following court levels: appellate, district, county court at law, constitutional county, justice of the peace, and municipal;
Two attorneys appointed by the State Bar of Texas, who are not judges; and
Five citizen members appointed by the Governor, who are neither attorneys nor judges.
All appointments are from varying appellate districts of the state, except that the citizen members, justice of the peace and judge of the municipal court are selected at large. The Texas Senate confirms all appointees.

* Subject to the Texas Sunset Act; will be reviewed in 2029.
